  • OK Dr Gummibear is in the house and 336 looks like it was left open for me. I don't have quite enough gumption to be the head guy. Looking forward to getting my Strava account set up and I'll repost with the proper identification numbers for reference soon. Cheers! 331 - 332 - BigG59 (http://www.strava.com/athletes/1362791…
  • Those Expresso bikes sound fun but there isnt one near me to try. I am in southern Ontario Canada where the cycling season is just getting off to a start finally. But i have been riding in the winter on a bike trainer to keep up with my riding. I usually ride about an hour each day logging in about 19 miles dailly or…
  • Hi Penny! Yep using your own heart rate monitor will be the only way to get accuracy in the calories burned department. You will find many uses for one as you exercise. Walking, cycling, elliptical ect ect. My heart rate monitor was purchased at Walmart. Sometimes it is in the watch dept and sometimes in the health and…
  • OK this story is actually an inferred compliment. I was travelling from Toronto Canada to see my Mom in Kissimmee Florida. I had the first flight out so I was at the airport going through customs into the states. The customs officer who was a bit portly looks at my passport (the old me at 290lbs) and then looks at me, then…
  • Sweating will not ruin a heart rate monitor. The ones that get the best heart rate measurement are the ones that come with a chest strap. The sensor is on the strap and sits centered on your chest. They are usually made of rubber so sweat isnt an issue. The one that I use is very good, but there may be better ones out…
  • Greetings Everyone! I was inspired by my good friend Breadbar, so I thought that I might bike ride down from here in Southern Ontario to visit my mom down in Kisssimmee Florida just outside of Disneyworld. 2400kms of riding. OW my butt feels sore just thinking about it. But I will do it in about 80 days. Since I can't…
  • OK! I ADMIT IT! i GOT SUCKED IN BY MY BASER REFLEXES AND HAD TO LOOK. Does that make me a bad person? Does it? I just couldn't resist to hear about the reaction I get from Cinflo! Have a great day Cin. From the Dr.:wink:
  • Hey I just got refered to this group by a friend and was wondering if you are going to do a February Challenge? I would like to join up with you all. I need some connection with people who cycle. I have a goal of 2000 miles for the year or a bit over 3000 kms. Should be possible I think. So what do you say can I come…
  • Just make sure that your heart rate monitor is set up properly with your current weight and other stats that it may ask for. Most heart rate monitors come set up for an average weight of about 180lbs, for a general reading. But you should go into your settings and change them to reflect accurately your stats. Hope this…
